This ONE Esports guides you through the process of obtaining your very own chimera pet in HSR, including the location of the store where you can purchase them and a look at the different chimera pet variations available.
What are chimeras in Honkai Star Rail?
In mythology, chimeras are legendary creatures that are a bizarre combination of different animals. They often represent things that are wildly imaginative and impossible.
However, the concept of “chimeras” in Honkai Star Rail takes a different approach.

Within the game’s world of Amphoreus, chimeras are not mythical creatures but rather unique animal species. These adorable creatures were unintentionally created within the Garden of Life during a scientific experiment.
Researchers were attempting to revive three extinct species: the Felys, the Canis, and the Terrazard. However, the experiment had unexpected results, leading to the creation of these genetically engineered chimeras.
Chimera pet variations: Color, head projections

COLORS | HEAD PROJECTIONS |
Orange | Ram-like horns (Brown) |
Purple | Antelope-like horns (Red) |
Pink | White horns |
Teal | Single-striped red horn |
How to get your own pet chimera in Honkai Star Rail

- Head to Janus’ Steed in Amphoreus.
- Choose the option “Take out the Memory Crystal Shard.”
- Select and purchase the item called “Mysterious Gift (L)” from the available options.
Upon successfully purchasing the “Mysterious Gift (L),” a random chimera pet will appear beside you. Once the dialogue ends, it will be automatically transported to your private room in Okhema City.

It is important to note that the type of chimera pet you receive is determined randomly.
If you are not satisfied with the chimera you received, you can restart the game while still in the middle of the purchase dialogue with Janus’ Steed. This will reset the random chimera selection, allowing you to try again for a different one.
Janus’ Steed location in HSR
Janus’ Steed is a shop located in Okhema City within the Amphoreus region.
To find it, begin by teleporting to the waypoint known as “Court of Seasons.” Once you arrive, exit through the nearest door and turn to your right. You’ll then encounter another door; proceed through it.

On your right-hand side, you’ll spot a large, wooden horse with a distinctive red head. This is Janus’ Steed.
This store is where you can purchase various items, including pet chimeras, recipes, and records. Remember to bring a sufficient amount of Memory Crystal Shards to make your desired purchases.
